Saints impending free agent DE Alex Okafor told reporters on Wednesday that he wants to be back in New Orleans next year.
“I want to be back here,” Okafor said, via Josh Katzenstein of Nola.com. “I was having a great year before I got hurt, and I just want to continue that.”
Okafor’s 2017 season ended after he suffered a torn Achilles in Week 11’s game and was later placed on injured reserve.
While it was obviously a disappointing end to what had been a very promising year for him, Okafor says he’s focused on getting back to 100 percent and everything else will take care of itself.
